Listen to "Saskin Yarim"
Listen to "Gor Nenni Nenni"
Get it all here.
A wonderful album by a leading light at the traditional/folk end of the Turkish music spectrum. I'm pretty sure I plucked this 1997 gem from the racks at Uludag Video, 1922 Ave W in Brooklyn, somewhere between 5-10 years ago.
Born Sabahat Akkiray 1955, Akkiraz moved to Germany as a child, returning to her homeland in the early 1980s to record her first albums. She was, and perhaps still is, a member of Turkish Parliament.
A number of you enjoyed the other album of hers I posted a couple of years ago; perhaps you'll like this one as well.
